The Beans That Blew My Cares Away

My family’s consumption of raw vegan foods has decreased tremendously. We had raw fruit pudding for breakfast today though and the boys licked the Vitamix clean. Hubby enjoyed his raw Chia Lime drink too. I also made an Asian salad, which unfortunately is still sitting in the fridge deteriorating as I write. My family started consuming […]

Fresh Mature Coconut Milk

If you want to cook with coconut milk, you have to use the milk from mature coconuts. While we love my raw Curry in a Hurry made from young coconuts, the boys have been craving cooked Massaman Curry with potatoes. So my hubby bought some mature coconuts the other day and opening it became a family […]

I haven’t been posting on this blog for a few months because I end this year a little more tentative than I began. In the beginning of Autumn this year, my dear son and hubby decided on “no more nuts”. This was followed by “no more raw smoothies”. Then “no more raw salads”. In other […]

How to Open a Green Coconut

We had coconut trees around our house growing up. We also had a helper who loved climbing the trees. Eugenia would climb trees without making grooves on the trunk.

Review: Ursa Major Natural Skin Care for Men

This is a Father’s Day idea for a guy that is more man than beautician. I asked my “I-don’t-even-own-a-hairbrush” husband to try some natural skin care products for men for my blog.
